If it happens when the car has been sitting over night, or the weekend,
you may have a dripping injector. The (aftermarket) starting system
doesn't know what the manual says about starting a flooded honda. Your
manual tells you how to start it, and the cure is a can of Techron
injector cleaner, or a few tanks of Gasohol.

Happened to my Odyssey, and the Gasohol cured it.

If it's VERY cold out, the manual tells you to hold the pedal 1/2 way to
the floor. If it's that cold, you should be using a block heater.

Honda doesn't officially 'endorse' remote starters. Your manual tells
you why.
